Their business model is basically churning over cars as fast as possible while making ~$500 per car. Move 10 cars a month and you've got a decent business that you can run out of your cousins empty storage lot or warehouse.

Got ya, I have a line on the car I want 2,300 miles. My money doesn't arrive for six weeks. Trying to get a dealer to take a substantial down payment to hold even with a purchase commitment is a tough sell. I might have to just watch the other cars I like sell for six more weeks unless the sales guy I'm talking with can sell his sales manager..
